The Best Ugly Christmas Sweaters for You (and Your Pup!)

We love this cozy sweater’s vibrant red hue and classic snowman print that you can wear for years to come. We’d pair it with jeans (OK, sweatpants—who are we kidding?) to bake Christmas cookies with the family.

Cardigans are one item that never goes out of style—but they also happen to be very on-trend this year. This one has a cute elk detail, plus a classic red, black and white striped pattern. (You might also like our 10 favourite Christmas decorations and trends for 2020.)
